Best Bar Code Scanners Buying Guide

Before choosing the best bar code scanners you should consider following options:

1. Decide on the type of barcode scanner: There are three types of barcode scanners available: handheld, desktop and tablet.

If you’re looking for a portable model to use in the office or on the move, you have a choice between handheld and wearable barcode scanners.

The main difference is that handheld barcode scanners have a single long handle, while wearable scanners are designed to clip onto your pocket or scan the barcode while it’s in your line of sight.

Desktop barcode scanners are self-explanatory, and are designed to sit on a desk.

2. Decide on the type of scanner technology: You also need to consider the different types of scanner technology available and which one best suits your requirements.

Laser scanners are the most accurate, but they may be exposed to high levels of dust and moisture.

They also have a shorter lifespan than their counterparts, and are more expensive.

Stick scanners are the least expensive, but they are not as accurate.

The third option is a 2D scanner, which is suitable for reading barcodes printed on labels or packaging.

3. Decide on the resolution and sampling rate: Resolution refers to the level of detail the scanner can capture.

The higher the resolution, the greater detail the image will have, so a barcode can be easily read.

If the resolution is too low, the image will be blurry and the barcode scanner may have difficulty reading the code.

The sampling rate refers to how quickly the scanner can capture an image. The faster the sampling rate, the faster the scanner can capture and read the code.

4. Decide on connectivity options: You also need to consider the connectivity options the scanner offers.

This will help you determine how it can be integrated into your existing workflow.

Some barcode scanners offer Wi-Fi connectivity, while others may have Bluetooth connectivity, offering the flexibility to be used in many different environments.

5. Decide on the total cost of ownership: The cost of a barcode scanner should not only include the price of the device itself but also the total cost of ownership.

This includes all the ongoing maintenance, service and support costs.

Some barcode scanners come with comprehensive warranties, while others only offer limited warranties.

Some companies offer warranties on the hardware and others on the software.

It’s also important to consider any included or optional services, such as annual or biannual maintenance contracts.

You should also consider the cost of consumables, such as batteries, sleeves and labels.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help you choose the right bar code scanner for your business.
